Pear and Peach Muffins Recipe

Pear and Peach Muffins Recipe

Having a girlie catch up with K so I made Pear and Peach Muffins for tea.

For those of you who are interested to add (more) fruits into your bakes, check these recipes out:

Apple Pear Bread Pudding Muffins
Blueberry and Guava Muffins
Cranberry Streusel Muffins

I like to use fresh fruits instead of those dried or preserved ones which would contain too much added sugar. And with the use of whole wheat flour, rolled oats, soy milk and healthy oil, it is not impossible to make desserts nutritious and wholesome too.

And the best part about this recipe is, the types of fruits are actually substitutable. I didn’t purposely buy pears and peaches for this. I merely used up whatever fruits that were sitting in the fridge. So try experimenting with whatever you have – kiwis, apples, dragonfruits, plums, seedless grapes and so on. Endless possibilities, really.

K absolutely loved these muffins and I packed a couple for her to bring home so she could have them for breakfast the next day. ๐Ÿ™‚
